-.?::"App1ication filed February-'21, 1927 55: Se'ria1No. -169,984.

I This invention relates to-new and {useful improvements in tickets used for admission into dance hall, theaters, etc.,*and has for; its primary object to provide a ticket that? is constructed for application to the button hole of a coat lapel so that-the same will be readily visible upon the party possessing the same.

A further and most important object is to provide a ticket of this character that is so designed that after the same is applied to the button hole it can only be removed therefrom by breaking the ticket disc, thus preventing the transferring of the ticket from one party to another which is a procedure universally followed, particularly in dance halls.

The invention further aims to provide an admission ticket that may be readily applied to the lapel button hole without in any manner marring the coat, and that may be readily removed therefrom when the-same is no longer desired for use.

l/Vith the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the inventionwill be better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a detail transverse section through a ticket constructed in accordance with the present invention, the same being shown as actually applied to the button hole of a coat lapel.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the article.

Figure 3 is an inner side elevation of the ticket securing disc, and

Figure at is an outer side elevation thereof.

Now having particular reference to the drawing, 5 indicates a disc of frangible material such as plaster of Paris, clay, putty, or the like upon the front face of which is suitable indicia representative of the particular place of admission.

During the formation of the frangible disc 5 there is incorporated therein the flatlike headed end 6 of an outwardly projecting pin 7 of wood, metal, or other inexpensive material, the extreme outer end of the same being formed with a conical head 8.

The invention further consists of a metallic disc 9 of spaced wall construction, the

'inner': wal lr being xof-i-rplano configuration, while :the rear wallis 1 of nnwardly: dished fOIIIltllLlOH as-clearly :d1sclose'd'=in F igure 1.

- The front wall ofthis doublecwalled disc is formed: centrally-with rearwardly extending cone 10 that is formed with longitudinal slots 11 so as to provide spring fingers, the extreme end of this cone projecting through a circular opening in the center of the inwardly dished back wall of said disc 9, also as clearly disclosed in Figure 1.

In actual use the pin 7 is inserted through the button hole of a coat lapel A, after which the double walled disc 9 is engaged over the projecting end of the pin it being obvious that it will be necessary to force this disc over the headed end of the pin so that the head 8 will be forced through the slotted cone 10, after which the same will spring inwardly in back of the head 8 to prevent the detachment of the disc with respect to said pin.

However, when it is actually desired to remove the ticket from the lapel it is only necessary to forcibly break the frangible disc 5 after which the headed end 6 of the pin 7 may be pulled through the button hole of the lapelrA.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel, simple, and inexpensive ad-' mission ticket that is well adapted for all the purposes heretofore designated, and even though I have herein shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detail structural elements it is nevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. In an admission ticket of the character described, a frangible disc carrying admission data, means rigidly associated with the disc for insertion in a button hole and only removable from the button hole by breaking the disc, and means constructed for nonremovable engagement upon the pin in back of the button hole.

2. In an admission ticket of the character described, a frangible disc carrying admission data. a headed pin having its head arranged within the material comprising the disc and the shank of the pin projecting therefrom for arrangement through a button hole, and means for non-removable attachment upon the end of the pin in back of the button hole for preventing the removal of the pin Without disrupting said disc.

3. In an admission ticket of the character described, a frangible disc carrying admission data, a pin rigidly embedded at one end Within the disc and removable therefrom only upon the breakage of said disc, said pin adapted for engagement through a button hole, a conical head formed upon the outer end of the pin, a metal disc for engagement over the headed end of the pin and having at its center a conical opening having slots therein for providing spring fingers for engagement in back of the head after the said disc is arranged thereover, whereby the disc is non-removably attached to the pin.

4. In a button, a pin, a frangible indicia carrying head secured on one end of the pin, the shank of the pin adapted to extend through a button hole, a member, and cooperating means between said member and the free end of the pin to permit the permanent attachment of the member on the free end of the pin.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

CLARENCE HEAD.
